Prepare a baking mold measuring 21 x 11 x 5 centimeters, or a round mold of 14 centimeters in diameter, or a square mold of 23 x 23 centimeters.

Grease the mold with butter or cooking spray, ensuring to coat the walls well to help the cake release easily.

Line the bottom of the mold with parchment paper and grease it as well, then dust with a little flour, discarding any excess.

Place the prepared mold in the freezer to firm up the grease and flour mixture.

Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Each egg white weighs approximately 50 grams.

Beat the egg whites until they start to foam, then gradually add the sugar in three additions, totaling 75 grams.

Continue beating until the egg whites reach medium peak stiffness and are shiny.

Add 1.5 tablespoons of oil to the egg whites for moisture, and optionally add lemon juice or flavorings like vanilla or almond extract.

Incorporate the egg yolks gently into the egg white mixture, using a spatula to fold them in without losing volume.

Sift in the cake flour, adding it in two batches while folding gently to maintain airiness.

Pour the batter slowly into the prepared mold, filling it about two-thirds full, and tap the mold on the counter to release any air bubbles.

Preheat the oven to 165-170 degrees Celsius and bake the cake for 15 to 35 minutes, depending on the oven and mold size.

After about 30 minutes, check if the cake is done; it should smell fragrant and be lightly golden.

To prevent the cake from collapsing, remove it from the mold shortly after baking and place it on a flat surface between two containers of equal height to cool.

Optionally, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before slicing.

Slice the cake horizontally and serve.
